[QUOTE="Deleted member 3000, post: 124156"] Losing 20# would be the same as not carrying a 20# pack, but the effect of trekking poles is reducing the impact rather than reducing the weight. Imagine jumping. Your weight stays the same, but the impact is much more than simply standing. The poles reduce the impact stress, not the weight, and they reduce it for hips, knees, and ankles. It does move the stress to the shoulders and elbows, so keep an eye out of a bursitis feeling! A stave is not the same as two trekking poles. It make keep you from falling, but it does nothing to reduce impact. Trekking poles don't do much if not used properly. A pole tip plant on each step is required for the impact reduction. The three-legged waltz cadence reduces impact only on the step that matches the pole plant. Using them like Joost in "The Way" is worthless. [/QUOTE]
